Hi Surakshya Dhakal,,
Your problem seems to be associated with pregnancy. Pregnancy can sometimes cause hemorrhoids which usually subsides after delivery.
Taking any kind of traditional medicines can cause a problem to the foetus,as these medicines have not been tested for their teratogenicity, its safe to avoid such therapy.
You can take a high fibre diet to ease bowel movements.Avoid laxatives as much as you can. You can use local ointments to reduce pain and bleeding if any.
Consult a proctologist and make sure any medicine you are using will not harm your baby inside.
Be careful till you deliver.Hopefully your problem will disappear after delivery,if it still remains there are many options don't worry.
Happy motherhood.....
